Lei Haichao Says China's Births Remain at the Order of Magnitude of Around 8 Million, Labor Force Still Ample in the Future

On September 14, Lei Haichao, director of the National Health Commission, stated at a State Council Information Office press conference that although China's newborn population has declined in recent years, it has remained at the order of magnitude of around 8 million, and there will still be relatively abundant labor resources in the future. This statement was subsequently rebutted by Huang Wenzheng in a published article.
